Can I just be real for a minute? This is a sketch of a painting that I started almost two weeks ago (swipe over to see the actual painting) and it’s been sitting here like this ever since. What most people don’t know is that I had a head injury from a car accident years ago and I still have symptoms from it. I have a full time job, a dog, friends and family, an art business and I’m taking an online art business course. But sometimes I get really tired and run-down if I don’t balance all these things. And for the last three or four weeks I’ve been slowly getting more tired and have only been able to do one painting! Sometimes I don’t even feel like a real artist if I’m not actually making art.

Apparently it’s not really socially acceptable to clip off your neighbours hydrangeas (or anyone’s on the street and surrounding streets). So as Mats told me to leave the neighbours bushes alone, I’ve had to head to M&S, luckily they didn’t disappoint #hydrangeas#ShortAndSweetCaptionForAChange
